Within gender studies, both transgenderism and intersex have become the cause celebre. Despite this newfound interest, many people have little understanding or have misconstrued ideas about transgenderism and intersex, sometimes confusing one for the other. The purpose of this workshop is to help participants better understand the political needs of transpeople and intersexed people by deepening understanding of the two categories and the institutional issues of both, where the commonalities lie and where they diverge.

Peter Trinkl, Board Chair of Bodies Like Ours, will participate on a Human Sexuality panel for psychology students at Argosy University (Pt. Richmond, CA) on May 28 at 10 am. This event is closed to the public.
